#95 Violin Tuning Peg

Musical instrument cases are a fascinating source of small objects and Debbies Violin case is no exception. This spare tuning peg is one of a few things I may paint in the near future. I think there is a good 'black objects' thread going through the project. Colour fans amongst you will be interested to learn the only colours used in the execution of this painting are burnt umber, ultramarine blue, titanium and zinc white and the tiniest bit of schevenings blue. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.
